Testo Jenny from the Block - Extra Latino
Testo della canzone Jenny from the Block (Extra Latino), tratta dall'album Tribute to Jennifer Lopez
Of fire, fire, fire, I sing that hath more cause to cry
In the great chamber of the king, a city mounted high
Old London that hath stood in state above six hundred years
In six days space, woe and alas, is burned and drowned in tears
The second of September in the middle time of night
In Pudding Lane it did begin to burn and blaze outright
Where all that gazed were so amazed at such a furious flame
They knew not how or what to do that might expel the same
It swallowed Fish Street, Hill and
Straight, it licked up Lombard Street
Down Cannon Street in blazing state, it flew with flaming feet
Down to the Thames whose shrinking streams began to ebb away
As thinking that the power of fate had brought the latter day
With hands and feet in every street, they pack up goods and fly
Pitch tar and oil, increase the spoil, old Fish Street begins to fry
The fire doth rage up to the 'Change and every king commands
But in despite of all its might, the stout old founder stands
At Temple Church and Holborn Bridge and Pie Corner 'tis stenched
The water did the fire besieged, at Aldersgate it quenched
At Cripplegate, though very late, and eke at Coleman Street
At Basinghall the fire did fall, we were all joyed to see't
Although the fire be fully quenched, yet if our sins remain
And that in them we still are drenched, the fire will rage again
Or what is worse, a heavier curse in famine will appear
Where shall we tread when want of bread and hunger draweth near?
If this do not reform our lives, a worse thing will succeed
Our kindred children and our wives will die for want of bread
When famine comes 'tis not our drums, our ships, our horse or foot
That can defend, but if we mend, we never shall come to't
